The Madd Mann:Despite her injuries, Miss Leonard managed to dial 999 herself. But because she couldn't give her exact location, it took emergency services half an hour to rush to her aid.

So maybe I'm not up on the whole geocaching thing, but wouldn't this make you really bad at it?

When geocaching you're usually looking at the app on your phone telling you how close you are to the object, it doesn't really say where you are, especially if you're in a field. I guess you could give the dispatcher the GPS coordinates but that probably wouldn't help them much.

Why not? Everyone has a smart phone and I assume most emergency vehicles have GPS these days. Plug the coordinates into apple or google maps and Profit!

Geocaching is a hobby that seems to be a combination of stupid and dangerous, yet fun in better times. With all the security threats and crap I wouldn't even dare "playing". Over half this state is a paranoid mess and concealed carry means people would rather shoot first and ask later. Even if you aren't on their property it still seems like a shooting waiting to happen. I know our high school had to tell people not to do it and if they do stick to the common parks. Do not do it if you are anything but white around here.

Another similar hobby has also suffered because of the terrorism crap. Fox hunts used to be a good time, but seeing a man hide a transmitter and a bunch of people with RDF gear really sets off security concerns. In the post 9/11 and Boston world people are farking stupid with fear.

As evidenced by all those geocachers shot by CCW holders. But don't let facts interrupt your derp.

She's on her way to a full recovery, according to her brother, "Mr. Leonard, 62, an advanced driving consultant from Buckinghamshire." Maybe he does an annual skills review with the van drivers from the Department of Housinge.
